decompress_bunzip2: fix rare decompression failure
commit bf6acd5d16057d7accbbb1bf7dc6d8c56eeb4ecc upstream.
The decompression code parses a huffman tree and counts the number of
symbols for a given bit length. In rare cases, there may be >= 256
symbols with a given bit length, causing the unsigned char to overflow.
This causes a decompression failure later when the code tries and fails to
find the bit length for a given symbol.
Since the maximum number of symbols is 258, use unsigned short instead.
